Introduction

Fibre Channel to SCSI Protocol Process

This section describes the steps the router uses to convert Fibre Channel host protocol to SCSI device protocol. Figure 3 and Table 3 illustrate and define this process.

Figure 3: Converting Fibre Channel to SCSI process

Table 3: Converting Fibre Channel to SCSI

Item	Description
1	A Fibre Channel host issues an encapsulated FCP protocol command
	packet to the router.
2	The router Fibre Channel controller interprets the Fibre Channel
	information, and places the packet in buffer memory.
3	The router interprets the Fibre Channel information packet and programs
	the router SCSI controller to process the transaction.
4	The router SCSI controller sends the command to the SCSI device
	(target).
5	The SCSI target interprets the command and executes it.
